I’m commenting to let you know what a hfepull encounter my friend’s child gained visiting yuor web blog. She came to find some issues, with the inclusion of what it is like to possess a very effective giving mindset to get many more very easily gain knowledge of selected complex things. You truly exceeded our desires. Many thanks for churning out such precious, trustworthy, informative and even unique guidance on that topic to Ethel.

I think it’s a feeling of why not? And as online networks overlap real ones, using a real name makes more sense.

It’s the new transparency movement. I blame Jermemiah Owyang and the whole social media ethics movement. It’s the new cool thing. You would think I’m lying, but LizWebPage is not only my brand, but my name: I’m Liz Page, Web Professional. (sounds vaguely superhero-ish or double-07-like, right?)

On a serious note, do the companies I work for necessarily want to be associated with my off-hours antics? There is no longer any line between on- and off-the-clock. I think it’s a dilemma!

Could this switch be a sign of transparency? We are reverting back to a time when your reputation is more important than annonyminit.

SaWu makes a good point – a lot of folks are doing this for the sake of easy recall. I was toying with the idea of doing the reverse and going with ScoMon, but figured it would be too troublesome to change all of my accounts.

Guys, the reason for my switch was simple: “Bryper” began to feel too insiderish to me over time. It worked for the crowd I was running with, but not so well with newcomers.

As I’m looking to reach out to people and companies who may just be getting their feet wet with social media, giving out my blog URL of BryanPerson.com just feels a lot more comfortable.

Curious to see what others have to say.

Well, copying ME anyway, since you actually dont’ do that. But you shouldn’t ever give up “dough,” it’s too funny. Hehe.

I’ve noticed that too! I mentioned it on Twitter yesterday, at least 3 of my Twitter friends have gone from some nickname to the firstname-lastname angle. I think they are just copying us. ;)
